:Kill Command [KI/:K]

Kills any or all of the programs that are currently held.

:KILL [ @ | progfile [,entrypoint] ]

(Defaults: most recently used)

When you save a son process (such as SPOOK) after returning to Qedit, you can awaken it later. The process, and its resources, will not be released until you Exit from Qedit, even if you never use it. To terminate a son process at any time, you can use the :Kill command. You can either kill all of your sons, one specified by name, or the most-recently used one (this is the default). See also Run and Activate.
